The one hundred and sixty-fifth round: Immediate departure, a crucial battle

Qin Tianci thought for a while, and said, "I...... I want to ......"

Guo Xi smiled, "Third brother, I understand everything. I also know that without this divine sword, there is no certainty of victory, and you and your eldest brother are waiting here...... The gods are born, and you are coming immediately......"

Gu Liang Naji said, "Good brother...... You must not rush on the road, and you must wait for us...... We will kill them! ”

Only on the third day, Guo Xi marched with the Tang army led by his father to Luoyang, the eastern capital. Guo Xi left the deputy general Guo Zhun and a few soldiers with Qin Tianci and Gu Liang Naji, and several of them stayed in Chang'an City for the time being, waiting for the craftsmen of the Ordnance Supervisor to build the divine weapon.

Several people came to this temporary training furnace, although it was simple, but the equipment was not backward at all. Qin Tianci and Gu Liang Naji watched as the master was holding the pile of red-hot things with tongs and baking them in the stove, just like children waiting for themselves.

When the master saw that the owner of the object was coming, he said while operating, "This material is so powerful, it takes three days for the old decay to melt it, and it can be tempered immediately, and it can be made tomorrow." ”

Qin Tianci and Gu Liang Naji were very grateful, after all, this was the information that the two elders exchanged their lives for, and there was probably only this master who could forge this divine sword in the whole world.

Qin Tianci immediately said, "Master has worked hard......

The master said, "It's not hard...... This divine soldier is cast, and I hope that the two heroes can help Marshal Guo judge the enemy general......"

Gu Liang Naji said, "Master rest assured...... That's what we're here for......"

Just then, a soldier hurried over, "There's news!" ”

Guo Zhun stopped the soldier and said angrily, "What's the matter of panicking?" What is the system...... Say, "What's the matter?" ”

The soldier said, "This news is a ...... for Qin Daxia and Gu Liang Daxia."

Gu Liang Najib heard it and walked out and said, "Why are you so alarmed? ”

The soldier said, "Back to Daxia, a person named He Sange in Wanhualou sent a letter. He took out a letter from his bosom and immediately handed it to Gu Liang Najib.

Gu Liang Naji hurriedly opened it, and immediately frowned, he hurriedly asked, "Why did you send it now?" ”

The soldier said, "This letter has also been delivered for a few days, but it has been looking for two heroes for a long time before it is handed over to you today, here and now......"

Seeing the change in the eldest brother's tone, Qin Tianci also hurriedly walked over and hurriedly asked, "Big brother, what's wrong?" ”

Gu Liang Naji said anxiously, "As mentioned in the letter, my cousin Gu Liang Nada has taken refuge in Yan Zhuang, and this time he took advantage of my travel with you to deceive my Yin Mei." The third brother sent someone to follow, but he was repulsed several times, and finally found that Da Ge had brought Yin Mei to Luoyang...... So I sent a letter to me......"

Qin Tianci said, "Didn't Gu Liang Nada be rescued by the Tubo monk along with Wen Hui at that time?" After that, nothing was heard...... How could this happen? ”

Gu Liang Naji said calmly, "This is not surprising, Wen Hui is a strict and dignified person, and when you traveled west, you also met Wen Hui and others but didn't see me Da Ge." Presumably he decided to take refuge in Yanzhuang at that time, otherwise how could he be in Luoyang now...... It's just that my sister Yin's eyes are inconvenient, and I'm worried about my sister's ......"

Qin Tianci said, "Without further ado, let's hurry up, you and I will definitely be able to rescue Sister Yin......"

Gu Liang Naji thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry...... Since I know my sister's whereabouts, I don't rush to ...... at this time When the Chongyun Sword is completed tomorrow, let's hold the sword and go again...... In the face of the solemn old thief, we have a chance to win...... He grabbed his sister just for you and me. ”

"Okay, just listen to the eldest brother."

Guo Zhun added, "Okay, I'll go and carry the horse now, prepare the fastest horse for the two sons, tomorrow the Excalibur will be born, and you can set off immediately." ”

Gu Liang Naji said, "Then there is Brigadier General Lao Guo." ”

On September 29 of the second year of Zhide, the Jieshu of Chang'an was recovered to Fengxiang, and all the officials entered the palace to celebrate, Su Zong wept and wept, and on the same day, he sent the envoy to Yu Tingyao into Shu to report to Xuanzong. He also ordered the left servant to shoot Pei Mian into the Beijing Division, tell the suburban temple and comfort the people.

After the Tang army regained Chang'an, Guo Ziyi's Shuai Fan and Han's soldiers took advantage of the victory to pursue the rebels to Tongguan and killed more than 5,000 people. Recover the two counties of Huayin and Hongnong. More than 100 prisoners were captured in the eastern part of the country, and Su Zong's edict was beheaded.

Li Mian, the superintendent of the imperial history, said, "Now that the culprit of the rebels has not been eliminated, and those who are trapped in the rebels hear about His Majesty's revival, and they all want to change their minds and submit to the imperial court. If these captives were killed, it would be a drive for those people to follow the traitor more firmly. "Su Zong immediately issued an amnesty.

At the beginning of October of the second year of Zhide, this was the most critical battle for the Tang army to recover the eastern capital Luoyang.

The rebel general Yin Ziqi surrounded Suiyang for a long time, the food in the city was exhausted, the generals agreed to abandon the city to the east, Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan conspired, thinking that Suiyang is the throat leading to Jianghuai, if the city is abandoned, the rebels will inevitably drive south, occupy the Jianghuai region. Moreover, the soldiers in the city were weak due to hunger, and it was difficult to break through. In ancient times, the princes of the Warring States also rescued each other, not to mention that there were many officers and soldiers not far from Suiyang, so it was better to stick to it and wait for reinforcements.

The tea paper was eaten up, so he killed the war horse and ate it; The horses were slain, and the birds and rats were eaten; The finches and mice were also exhausted, Zhang Xun killed his beloved concubine, and Xu Yuan also killed his slaves to wait for the soldiers. Then they killed the women of the city and ate them, followed by the men who were old and weak. At that time, the people in the city knew that they would die, and there were no rebels, and in the end there were only about 400 people left.

On October 9, the rebels attacked the city, and the defenders were sick and hungry and unable to fight again. Zhang Xun then bowed to the west and said, "The minister has exhausted his strength and cannot protect Suiyang City, and he can not repay His Majesty's kindness when he is alive, and he should be a ghost to kill the traitor after death." ”

Guangcheng then fell, and Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan were captured by the rebels. Yin Ziqi, the general of the rebel army, asked Zhang Xundao, "I heard that you have cracked your teeth every time you fight, why?"

Zhang Xun said, "I am determined to devour the traitor, but I am suffering from insufficient strength. ”

Yin Ziqi then cut his mouth with a knife to see it, and there were only three teeth left. Yin Ziqi was moved by Zhang Xun's loyalty and righteousness, and wanted to live all of it, and someone in the rebels said, "He is a person who keeps festivals, and he will not be used by us in the end." Besides, if you don't kill it, you will be troubled. ”

So he and Nan Jiyun, Lei Wanchun and other 36 people were killed. When Zhang Xun was dying, the color remained the same, and the righteousness was awe-inspiring. Yin Ziqi sent Xu far away from Luoyang.

When Zhang Xun first guarded Suiyang, there were only 10,000 soldiers and tens of thousands of residents in the city. There were more than 400 large and small battles before and after, killing 120,000 rebels. Zhang Xun did not use troops according to the ancient methods of warfare, but ordered his generals to teach soldiers with their own tactics. Someone asked the reason, Zhang Xun replied, "Now it is a battle with Hu Bing, the clouds are scattered, and the changes are impermanent; Between a few steps, the potential is different. Improvisation, lies in haste, and the subordinates are all asked for instructions from the generals, and the matter is not in time, which is not known about the changes in the war situation. Therefore, I make the soldiers know the will of the generals, and the soldiers will know the feelings of the soldiers, and throw them into the battlefield, like the command of the hand. Isn't it a good tactic for soldiers and generals to learn from each other, and people to fight for themselves! ”
